A Speck in the Ellipsis

Lampert's sculptural works operate as abstract portraits, highlighting the achievements of accomplished women throughout history. They range from creative visionaries to the often unrecognised support roles women have played in innovation across science, humanities and the arts. The exhibition title gestures to omissions that punctuate historical narratives where contributions by women have been forgotten, ignored or claimed by others. Upholstered in black velvet and intricately adorned with bead embroidery, the works draw on the histories of textiles and craft, practices traditionally embedded within female experience.
